the treatment effect as measured by local linear regression was 0.28 percentage points from a baseline rate of 26% (95% CI: −3.51 to 5.19 percentage points).
Contexto
What changed: Buildings selected into NYC's Alternative Enforcement Program were mandated to correct severe violations (heat, hot water, mold, pests) within 4 months. Comparison: Buildings just below the program selection cutoff that were not mandated to remediate under AEP. Limits: Wide confidence intervals cannot rule out moderate changes; buildings remained among the city's worst despite halving violations; outcomes are limited to Medicaid claims.
